Nov 15, 2009 On cask at Volo. Pours a deep brown/black with small tan head. Roasty nose with coffee and a hint of vanilla. Taste is nicely roasty, mostly coffee. Body is not too heavy. A very drinkable beer.

Nov 5, 2009 A pretty darn good beer. A friend brought this home from Waterloo for me. Pour is deep brown black with a thin disappearing head. Aroam is nutty, coffee and malts. Taste is malty with hints of chocolate and coffee, but not too much. Almost flat. A very likable beer.

Nov 4, 2009 pours deep brown with a small white head that disappears quickly. Lots of dark flavours with dark chocolate, faint coffee, and roasted malt. Mostly roasted malt with a little aftertaste of hops. No carbonation.

Oct 12, 2009 The best smelling porter I’ve smelled in a long time. Chocolate aroma. Subdued coffee flavours. Really nice, medium body that’s perfectly suited to the flavour and style. This brewery has a problem with metallic aftertastes though, really annoying since they’ve got some pretty good brews. A beer I would pick up any day of the week and dddrink with dinner or just socially. Would session on tap like crazy at 4.5%, but alas, have not found on tap.

Oct 4, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Sammy sampled on 7/26/09: Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a large airy clumpy-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of lightly smoky black malt with a touch of toasty character and a hint of dark chocolate. Starts with some effervescent carbonation and sticky roasty dark malt before a drier bitter finish. A pretty decent smoky porter.

Jul 14, 2009 "Gully has me ball warming this beer but he won’t tell me what it is. He has now informed me it is some kind of porter so let the review begin. Oh crap I forgot to write down what it looked like, I’m guessing it was dark brown and had a small cap, yes that seems right. Bland and boring that is what I think of this beer so far, aroma is watery and contains coffee, burnt malt, and earth. Taste is also boring watery and thin. Brew is a waste of time. Coffee, burnt malts, some bakers chocolate, sour finish with a lingering sweetness. Beer is has way to much dirt in the flavour. I’m bored with this subpar brew I’m going home. Gully is drunk."
